Consider the following scenario:

• You are using a Windows Vista-based computer.
• The computer is connected to an external monitor by using an S-video connection.
• You configure the desktop area to extend across both displays. This configuration is known as “Extended desktop” mode.

In this scenario, when you click Play in either the Pictures section or the Videos section of Windows Photo Gallery, a black screen appears to load. However, the pictures or the videos do not appear on the screen.
